Update a form automatically?

[Nancy]

When new fields have been added to a table, is it
possible to update an existing form automatically with
these new fields from the source table?

Huh?

Are you saying that you have a combo box on a form and want to pull all the
entries from a table to that combo box? Please explain exactly waht you
want.

Sorry I didn't explain the situation clearly.

I have added new fields to an existing table. Does my form
that was created from this table have to be updated
manually to add these new fields or can this be done
automatically?

Ahhhhh

You would have to add them manually. If you normally use the wizard to
build forms, I would guess that you would need to delete and then recreate
the form if you want it to contain all the fields. If you 'tweeked' any of
the fields after the wizard created it, I would just manually add the new
fileds.

Have a good one!

If you show the field list ( on the view menu ), you can just drag new
fields from there to wherever you want them on the form in design view.
This at least saves re-creating the form.

Remember that the wizards are programs too. It is possible to create your own
form generation program that can add fields. A good access programmer could do
it with the proper resources.
